I wanted to experience New York, to look up and see buildings.
From Haile Gebrselassie
For me a day without training is like a day without eating.
I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'
In my life I do a lot of things but I never forget my training.
I'm never satisfied.
The more you are getting older, you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage, because of your long experience you can use it.
I think if you come first with a new world record, that is the best.
What can you do if a part of it is uphill? You can't work out another route. You've just got to run the one they give you. But they tell me London is a nice course. Even the cobbles, I hope, are not very much of a problem for me.
I used to run to school, 10k every day. And this at altitude, perfect preparation, really.
I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.
